Gorilla permits are strictly limited in order to protect these cousins of ours. Each group is limited to eight participants at a time. We recommend you to wear good walking boots/shoes and carry a good rain gear and enough drinking water. Trekking can be tough and challenging and so we trust you are in a reasonably fit condition.
